Thanks Curt. I got the dates of cloth and wraps from Levi Peterson's book. Peterson writes that the 1955 printing was done in SLC and I thought this was the Hiller printing. Obviously this is wrong. Peterson also writes that the 1969 printing by Ogden was only in wraps. Again this seems to be wrong.

Peterson writes nothing about a pirated printing done by a family member. Though I have heard this story. Peterson does write that the Pioneer Press printing is in a smaller type than the other two printings.

The two BYU special collections copies are the "light" blue with the forward starting after the blank page.

>I talked to Anne Wilde who still runs Pioneer Press about this question.  They printed 500 copies of Dudley Leavitt for Juanita Brooks sometime after 1970 (she'd have to consult her notes to determine exactly when, but their first book wasn't printed until late 1969).  Hiller bound them in a turquoise-like cloth.  As far as she knows this was the first and only reprint in cloth, but she's not sure. They did a paperback reprint a few years later.  She doesn't know anything about a 1955 reprint but says it obviously could not be Pioneer Press's book.

The lighter blue copy was signed and dated by Juanita Brooks in 1968 (thus predating the Pioneer Press ed. by two or more years). The dark blue has the same typography and is the same size (height & width but is thicker due to heavier paper) as the light but has the foreword begin opposite the verso of the title page which is blank. In the light blue the foreword begins on the verso of the title page. The dark blue ed. is a higher quality book: cloth, gilt stamping, paper, photos are on slick paper (in lt. blue they're reproduced on the same paper as the text). I don't have a hardback Pioneer Press copy but suspect it is also the smaller size (like their paperback) and not of as good a quality as the others. I'll try to get a copy to compare with. Since apparently in all editions the same plates were used, it's difficult to determine priority. The first was published in 1942, but which one is it and who printed and bound it? Peterson doesn't say in his Brooks biography. He says a firm called Sugarhouse Press reprinted it in 1955. Which book is that one? Indeed, the mystery does go on. This probably doesn't deserve hours of time, but I'm intrigued by the unknown. Can anyone help solve this puzzle?

The 1st edition [1942] of Dudley Leavitt--Pioneer To Southern Utah is a 6x9 blue cloth with gold lettering on the front with nothing on the spine.  Around 1969--if I remember correctly--it was Lyman Hafen at the Spectrum in St. George who did the second printing in blue cloth and in a reduced size.  One day grandma got a phone call asking if he could print another edition and grandma said 'ok' verbally but without any thing written down.  It was in the stores there within weeks or days.  Grandma suspected that the book was already printed and bound and that he was just going through a formality.  He didn't bother to put a 'second edition' or a 'year' on the copyright page and left 1942 on the title page.  As far as I know, the paperback blue and white copy was never authorized by the family and is completely illegitimate.  Check with Karl & Carla Brooks at 356 N. Main in St. George, UT 84770 for more exact info on this p/b printing.  On The Ragged Edge was completely revised by grandma and arranged for its publication by the Historical Society.  The 2nd edition that was done just recently for a reunion was paid for by 'Tad' and Willa Derrick, her daughter.  You might want to print this and file it away. Everything is going well here in Provo.  Does the 1955 printing have that actual year printed on it? Could you give me a description?  Lynn

I suspect that I have the '1955' edition in light blue cloth w/o the date being changed, and that the 1942 edition had the darker cloth. as far as I know the '1955' edition was an exact reprint--same book size, same type, same pagination, etc.--just different color cloth.  I had one in dark cloth not signed, and sold it when I got the signed copy--now I'm wishing I'd kept it. If I recollect correctly, the p/b edition was floating around in the 70's and early 80's and was around while On The Ragged Edge was out of print.  LP

The 1st edition [1942] of Dudley Leavitt--Pioneer To Southern Utah is a 6x9 blue = cloth with gold lettering on the front with nothing on the spine.  Around 1969--if I remember correctly--it was Lyman Hafen at the Spectrum in St. = George who did the second printing in blue cloth and in a reduced size.  = One day grandma got a phone call asking if he could print another edition and = grandma said 'ok' verbally but without any thing written down.  It was in = the stores there within weeks or days.  Grandma suspected that the book = was already printed and bound and that he was just going through a = formality.  He didn't bother to put a 'second edition' or a 'year' on the copyright = page and left 1942 on the title page.  As far as I know, the paperback = blue and white copy was never authorized by the family and is completely illegitimate.  Check with Karl & Carla Brooks at 356 N. Main in = St. George, UT 84770 for more exact info on this p/b printing.  On The = Ragged Edge was completely revised by grandma and arranged for its = publication by the Historical Society.  The 2nd edition that was done just = recently for a reunion was paid for by 'Tad' and Willa Derrick, her = daughter.  You might want to print this and file it away. Everything is going well here = in Provo.  Does the 1955 printing have that actual year printed on it? = Could you give me a description?  Lynn<= /p>

I = suspect that I have the '1955' edition in light blue cloth w/o the date being = changed, and that the 1942 edition had the darker cloth. as far as I know the = '1955' edition was an exact reprint--same book size, same type, same = pagination, etc.--just different color cloth.  I had one in dark cloth not = signed, and sold it when I got the signed copy--now I'm wishing I'd kept it. If I = recollect correctly, the p/b edition was floating around in the 70's and early = 80's and was around while On The Ragged Edge was out of print.  = LP<= /p>

I = just called Carla and she knew even less than I did about the editions than me, so = writing to them would be a dead-end. Lynn<= /p>

And then Lynn's last post to = me:<= /p>

I was just up at BYU Special = Collections, and they have a dark blue cloth copy that was given to Heber J. Grant = [d. 1945] by Dudley Henry Leavitt, the son of Dudley Leavitt and my g. = grandfather. Lynn<= /p>
